'Language in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2003 directed the establishment of the Test Resource Management Center
(TRMC). The Act also requires the TRMC to administer the Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) effective
Fiscal Year 2006.
Beginning with FY 2006, program element 0604940D8Z (CTEIP) is transferred from the Operational Test and Evaluation, Defense
(OTGtE, D) appropriation (0460) to the Defense-wide RDT&E (0400) appropriation. FY 2005 accomplishments are noted in the
OT&E appropriation.
A.
(U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION
Since its inception in FY 1990, this program element has been, and continues to be, used to fund the development of critically
needed, high priority Test and Evaluation (T&E) capabilities for joint/multi-Service requirements. The Central Test and Evaluation
Investment Program (CTEIP) uses a corporate investment approach to combine Service and Defense Agency T&E needs, maximize
opportunities for joint efforts, and avoid unwarranted duplication of test capabilities. CTEIP focuses investments on projects that will
have high productivity returns on investment. Projects under the CTEIP Program Element (PE) support two basic tasks: investments
to improve the test capabilities base (Joint Improvement and Modernization (JIM) projects) and development of near-term solutions to
test capability shortfalls in support of an ongoing operational test program (Resource Enhancement Project (REP)).
The JIM funds critically needed T&E investments in the major functional areas of test mission command, control,
communications and instrumentation; electronic warfare systems; threat and computational simulation test and evaluation; space
systems T&E; weapons effects test capabilities; targets; and physical and environmental test capabilities. The investmeilts include
both the demonstrations of advanced technologies needed to test increasingly complex and sophisticated weapon systems and the

transition of these technologies into test capabilities. Exanlples of project subject matter include: automated data collection,
processing, display, and archiving; smart munitions testing; modeling and sinlulation (M&S); advanced electronic conlbat systems;
low-observable tecllnologies and signature measurements; targets and target control; time-space-position-infornlation;end-game
measurement; testing of advanced materials application; test design; and advanced sensors and space systems. CTEIP continues as
the focal point for fostering common architectures throughout the test and training comnlunities to enhance the sharing of resources
and links between test and training ranges. CTEIP has provided special focus to institutionalize the use of M&S as a practical test
tool; to link ranges through internetting to enhance inter-range and inter-Service cooperation and resource sharing; and, to ensure
developnlent and acquisition of common instrumentation necessary for a more efficient test infrastructure. Analyses of alternative
solutions are conducted for each investment project to validatz T&E requirements, to define integrated support systems, and to
determine overall cost effectiveness of the proposed test investments. The use of Department of Defense (DoD)-wide criteria for
requirement validation, prioritization, and risk assessment ensures an effective test resource investment program.
The REP funds development of near-term solutions for critical ongoing operational tests supporting decisions on major, high
priority defense acquisition programs. These unanticipated operational test (OT) capability requirements arise from several sources
such as a new threat system identified during OT planning, acquisition of foreign military assets that are critical in determining
weapon system operational effectiveness, short timelines between system design maturity and scheduled OT, and emerging
technologies and test requirements resulting from operational concept changes mandated by Congress or DOT&E, or system-ofsystems testing. Funding these activities under the CTEIP provides the opportunity to coordinate and integrate these near-tern1 test
requirements with the total DoD test and evaluation investment planning, and ensures their availability and legacy for other programs
that may have similar testing requirements. This PE also provides hnds to perform travel to cany out oversight of the CTEIP
program.
This Research Category 6.4 PE supports the development and application of proven technologies to provide major test and
evaluation capabilities required to meet DoD component weapon system test requirements.
